I'm working on a project about body/skin de/hydration. I'm interested if there is already a known technique or technology with which we could measure body/skin de/hydration in a simple/easy and quick way?
I know that there are already certain techniques/technologies which are measuring de/hydration, (for example urine and blood tissue testing), but I would like to know if there is a faster and more simple technique/technology which we could use in our daily routine(and if it is also accurate)?
When I was looking for answers I found those techniques/technologies:

- Fingerprint senzor
- Corneometer
- Nova DPM
- Pulse oksimetre
- Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)
- Moisture checker
- Opto-thermal transient emission radiometry (OTTER)
Which of this is most accurate and fast? Are there any other appropriate?

Dehydration became a factor in the meat industry. 4 day old Calves are slaughtered for meat and they suffer from dehydration but it was not recognized till I ran a trial and compared the yield to hydrated calves to the "dehydrated " ones.

The one feature that I was able to use to compare the two groups was the bone weight. Regardless how much dehydration a calf was suffering it's bone weight would remain constant.

Hi, can we got some more details?
